[Pkg-libburnia-devel] BR-RE blank disk - Pioneer BDR-2208 - initial format fails

[Jack Dodds]

Hello maintainers,

I have searched debian-user for problems similar to mine and found
nothing, so I am emailing you.

I just installed a new Pioneer BDR-2208 Bluray burner on my Wheezy system.

According to the man page, I must do an initial format on a new blank
BD-RE disk.  When I try to do that (as root) with cdrskin I get the message

cdrskin: formatting failed

I've also tried writing a file to the disk, both with and without the
blank=as_needed option, and those commands also fail.

The complete commands and terminal outputs follow along with a
cdrskin dev=/dev/sr0 -minfo
to define the configuration.

The cdrskin manpage reads as if BD-RE is fully supported.  Is that the
case? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of Debian,

Jack Dodds
